Skye Reynolds 09/14/17 10:39:07 PM #1:	In Japan, there was an arcade game called Dynamite Detective in which the protagonist was modeled after John McClane from Die Hard. When it was ported, Fox picked it up as a licensing game and simply said that the protagonist was John McClane. I can't think of any other case in which that has happened. That'd be like if somebody said that the protagonist from Contra was actually Dutch from Predator. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:886624639] in Is Die Har...

It feels kind of like Die Hard in terms of the action, but then you get a bunch of random stuff that would never appear in a Die Hard movie like the fight with the sumo or the guy with katana blades. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:886624901] in Is Die Har...
